Yes, Stanstead is in Suffolk. But...……… Stansted airport is in Essex. Different place. |

Perhaps it could be re-names Bishop's Stortford International ----( which is what we always called it somewhere in the middle of the last century), that should eliminate any confusion between Stansted and Stanstead.airports.

Folks,
Perhaps it could be re-names Bishop's Stortford International -- I am very, VERY sorry! I have been corrected, and Stortford DOES indeed apparently belong to the Bishop! Thank you for pointing out my ignorance. Every day is a school day. I will try not to bash the Bishop - sorry - criticise the Bishop again, despite my excitement at my new-found knowledge. |

Why, when it doesn't actually belong to a Bishop?
Maybe, just maybe, because that is the name of the nearby village, ( trying to recall the name of a very pleasant little pub, a welcome respite from jousting with the "Men from the Ministry" examiners) and, if I recall correctly, the name of the all over grass airfield, once in that area. But you really knew that, didn't you?? Tootle pip!! |
I think he was trying to make a comment about the misplacement of the apostrophe (commonly known as the grocer's apostrophe https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/gre...27s_apostrophe), but in this case was incorrect as the town's name is in fact Bishop's Stortford |

More importantly, I wonder when the owners of the airport are actually going operate Stansted as an airport rather than a shopping centre and actually spend money on operational infrastructure. The runway is the roughest patchwork quilt of repairs than any other runway in Europe that I am aware of. The taxiways are a in a similar state, riddled with temporary steel plates over all the holes. Perhaps the owners would sort it out if the operators would start suing them for the cost of diversions as the runway is clearly not fit for purpose. |
Plane on Runway?
My wife and boys have just landed at STN from Lviv (FR1643). Reports that there was a near miss - plane on runway, passengers screaming / crying.
Is there any way to verify? |
Any photos of the runways and taxiways showing such state of disrepair? Concerning that a fairly major airport would have poor surfacing issues. |
next time in.
Will try to make a video next time in |
I always knew it as "STAN and TED's".
